How suddenly you left us, the picture of health on Thursday and gone on Tuesday. You were the underdog cat your whole life. You were found in a bag of discarded kittens on the side of the road. Some would have considered you scary looking but I thought you were beautiful. You always met us at the door and followed us from room to room and when we were settled for the evening you would always find my or dad's lap to rest in. You slept in the exact same spot every night snuggled up to my back. For the first few days you were gone everything reminded me of you. I swear sometimes I see you but it's Pepper. I know it's crazy but I swear Buddy knows you're gone. You two were best buds when I thought it would be most difficult for you to adjust to a dog after 7 years of a cat only household. Seven years later, wherever he was so were you. When you weren't in your usual spots Monday, I knew it was serious and I was right and on Jan 12, 2010 you left us after 14 years with us at the age of 16. You weren't our oldest cat but you were the most loving. The guys didn't realize how much they liked you until you left. We'll all see you again my sweet boy, but for now hopefully grandma and grandpa are looking out for you.
